Accepted Answer

: Mononucleosis or cytomegalovirus, among other viruses can cause such protracted symptoms, specifically adenopathies and unusual skin rashes. Your doc remains your best reference.

Question 2

how come i have flu like symptoms and pain inside my stomach 2 days after sex?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal infection?: Any of several problems could do this -- appendicitis, other intestinal problem, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID, fallopian tube infection). PID is an STD, usually due to gonorrhea or chlamydia, but of course only if at risk for STDs (e.g. new partner, partner with other partners, etc). No matter what the cause, this needs medical care ASAP -- especially urgent if any fever. Get care today.

Question 3

negative 4th gen hiv test almost 6 months after sex with a girl at the bar and now my wife and i finally got through it and had sex and then she had flu like symptoms 9 days after! im freaking out that the 4th gen missed hiv at 6 months?

Accepted Answer

: A benign viral infection is much more common than the acute phase of HIV infection in this case. If your wife has any doubt, she can have the 4th generation HIV test done after 3 weeks or a HIV RNA test can be done now.

Question 4

hi i was sick with flu misses wanted sex now just can't get hard start to then no go what can i do or take please?

Accepted Answer

Rest: Allow your body torrent and recover if your performance was normal prior to the flu once restrengthened you should be fine again. Tell wife to be patient

Question 5

is it safe to have sex while having a stomach flu?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you can handle it, go for it.

Question 6

can having sex cause me to just get flu like symptoms?

Accepted Answer

No: Regular sex (penis into vagina) should not cause flu-like symptoms. Flu-like symptoms can occur when some inflammatory substance, virus, or bacteria spreads through the body, causing fever, aches, fatigue, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. It would be very unusual for such symptoms to be from sexual activity, but if such symptoms repeatedly occurred with sex, a doctor's evaluation is needed.

Question 7

what can cause flu like symptoms every time i have sex?

Accepted Answer

You. may be ....: Having a reaction to , if it is being used, spermicidal jelly or even the condum.

Question 8

had oral sex a week ago. having flu like symptoms. could i have hiv or simply the flu?

Accepted Answer

Cold: HIV is rarely transmitted from oral sex. This sounds like a cold combined with some stress and anxiety related to sexual activity. HIV is most often transmitted by infected blood or sexual secretions; however, some cases of oral transmission have been reported also. I suggest getting an HIV test to put your mind to rest.

Question 9

after 3 week unprotected oral sex with massage girl, my neck sudden pain for awhile and flu (alway have flu before), is this a hiv symptom?

Accepted Answer

Testing is required: Testing is always required for diagnosis of hiv.  If you have had unprotected sexual relations and suspect an infection, then the next thing to do is go to your doctor or find a free sexual health clinic that can provide testing.

Question 10

had safe sex, deep kissing. 5 weeks after flu like symp (neg hiv oral) 1 day b4 symptoms smoked with some1 who had suspected cold could that be why?

Accepted Answer

Nucleic acid test: As I suggested earlier, get HIV nucleic acid test at 12 weeks after exposure to rule out HIV infection. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.
